The biggest issue here is that the $149 price point only applies to current 360 owners.  They're attempting to sell a peripheral that has thus far shown that it has little use with hardcore games to a predominantly hardcore market for $149.99, seemingly without a game.

For the Wii market and everyone else, they'll be trying to sell a 360/Kinect bundle with no hard drive for $299, effectively resetting the 360's price to what it was at launch five years ago.

How does Microsoft release a new 360 system without a hardddrive?  They are phasing out the old arcade, and the new one has no internal storage.  Where do the system updates get put?

Kinect requires 175mb of disc space.  If they indeed are having an Arcade Kinect Bundle, some sort of disk space is guaranteed to be in there.
